The plains beneath the World Tree erupted into war.

Ancient roots burst from the earth, separating the battlefield into countless fronts.

The Knights of Blackthorn fought shoulder to shoulder with the warriors of the Forest Kingdom.

The Ice Titans roared as they crushed waves of shadow soldiers.

Above them, the golden branches of the World Tree glowed brighter with every passing second.

Queen Elara Sylvan raised her radiant bow.

"Forest Rangers!"

"Protect the roots at all costs!"

A rain of golden arrows descended upon the shadow army, each arrow bursting into vines of light that trapped dozens of enemies.

For the first time...

The shadow army began to retreat.
